Coco's Story
Meet Coco the Maltese — also known as “Pinky,” a name given to him by his foster mom, probably because “Tiny Grandpa Marshmallow with Limited Brain Cells” wouldn’t fit on the vet paperwork.<br/><br/>Coco is a senior Maltese looking for a retirement home where he can spend his golden years doing the things he loves most: eating snacks, wandering aimlessly, and absolutely not being judged for peeing wherever his heart tells him to.<br/><br/>After being hit by a car, Coco’s elderly owners made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him when they realized they could no longer care for him.<br/>He is very food motivated, and equally motivated to bite you if you try to take that food away. Most of his teeth have been removed, but according to his foster mom, it still doesn’t feel good. <br/><br/>Coco does well with other dogs and is friendly with people, though he can get overstimulated when there’s too much activity around him. He’d do best in a calmer home where he can toddle around at his own pace and enjoy some emotional support snacks.<br/><br/>Honestly, Coco isn’t looking to impress anyone. He’s looking for someone who understands that perfection is overrated, diapers are washable, and old dogs with weird little quirks still deserve to be adored
Meet Coco the Maltese — also known as “Pinky,” a name given to him by his foster mom, probably because “Tiny Grandpa Marshmallow with Limited Brain Cells” wouldn’t fit on the vet paperwork.
Coco is a senior Maltese looking for a retirement home where he can spend his golden years doing the things he loves most: eating snacks, wandering aimlessly, and absolutely not being judged for peeing wherever his heart tells him to.
After being hit by a car, Coco’s elderly owners made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him when they realized they could no longer care for him.
